Jesus Fucking Christ, this is serious. from www.avn.com Quote:
PHOENIX - Federal indictments charging seven counts of interstate trafficking in obscene material were reportedly unsealed today against JM Productions and its principal Jeff Steward, as well as retailer/Internet distributor Five Star Video, based in Tempe, Ariz., and what appear to be two of Five Star's principals.
-advertisement- The indictment charges that Five Star engaged in both physical and Web transportation of the video features Gag Factor 15 and 18 and American Bukkake 13, all of which were produced by JM, and Filthy Things 6, a Powersville Production distributed by JM.
Specifically, the indictment, which was handed down on May 23, charges that the Five Star Video defendants "knowingly used an interactive computer service and other facilities and means of interstate and foreign commerce to sell and distribute, to a location in Northern Virginia, obscene DVDs ... in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1465 ["Transportation of obscene matters for sale or distribution"] and (2)(a)," which allows the government to target the principals of a business. The transportation allegedly took place on Feb. 6 and 10 of this year.
The indictment also charges that those same defendants "knowingly used the United States mails to mail and deliver to a location in Northern Virginia, a DVD containing obscene matter," while another set of counts charges that those same defendants "knowingly used an express company or other common carrier for carriage in interstate commerce and delivery to a location outside of the State of Arizona, of a package which contained DVDs that are obscene."
So far, AVN has only been able to obtain information as to the first seven counts of the indictment, which consists of a total of 18 counts. Counts 8 through 14 also relate to transportation of obscene material using a common carrier, while Counts 15 through 17 charge some or all of the defendants with "Engaging in a Business of Selling or Transferring Obscene Material."
The final count, Count 18, invokes 18 U.S.C. §1467, the Criminal Forfeiture statute, which states in part, "(a) Property Subject to Criminal Forfeiture.—A person who is convicted of an offense involving obscene material under this chapter shall forfeit to the United States such person’s interest in — (1) any obscene material produced, transported, mailed, shipped, or received in violation of this chapter; (2) any property, real or personal, constituting or traceable to gross profits or other proceeds obtained from such offense; and (3) any property, real or personal, used or intended to be used to commit or to promote the commission of such offense, if the court in its discretion so determines, taking into consideration the nature, scope, and proportionality of the use of the property in the offense."
Several adult industry attorneys are reportedly already involved in the case, but so far, none have been willing to comment on the indictment.
This indictment represents the Bush administration's second major federal assault on an adult video production company, and as in the case of the first target, Extreme Associates, the government's focus has been on videos which fall somewhat outside standard adult video fare. In Gag Factor 15, for instance, Ashley Blue essays a parody of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, where prisoners are tortured through throat-fucking, while in American Bukkake 13, Sabrina Jayde is fitted with one of those conical shields veterinarians use to keep dogs from licking their wounds, but which in this case the "Bukkake Boys" use to direct their spew so Sabrina can lick it all up.
All of the above-named videos were directed by award-winning director Jim Powers, and two, American Bukkake 13 and Gag Factor 18, received AAAA ratings, with the other two scoring just half a point lower. In addition, the Flower Tucci/Johnny Thrust scene from Gag Factor 15 was pre-nominated for Best Oral Scene. Reviews of all of the named features can be found on AVN.com.

"the government's focus has been on videos which fall somewhat outside standard adult video fare." what does that mean? Standard adult video fare. So, what they're saying is every company, director and talent in porn valley has these guide lines. The ones for standard video adult fare..... Right Is there a long list of does and don'ts...like #1) No talent shall eat cum mixed with do food.(ROB BLACK) Wow, this is outta control. Certain producers and Companies better hold onto their ass. Because it's going down....

They were both indicted, Jim.

Well the Supreme Court has ruled that the freedom of speach does not protect obsenity. The question then becomes one of community standards. That is why kiddie porn is not protected.
I am troubled by this. They go after the porn that they think is the very worst and that people will think that is ok. That will then give them precedent to go after all porn.

So will Avn and the Free Speech Coalition get behind Jeff or will they say "He's that 'Donkey Punch' guy. Porn we don't like should be censored."

 Alberto Gonzalez Best wishes to Jeff and all the JM crew, time for AVN and the FSC to get onside and get behind our man here and ensure that America's piss-poor excuse for a Government doesn't score any sort of victory in this one. Right Wing pudwhackers like the current Attorney General are bigger threats to the American way of life than Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaida will ever be...  On the bright side...I sincerely hope those titles involved start to sell again in a very big way given all the extra publicity.  Hell, it's your patriotic duty as an American to own them now, goddammit!

Alberto Gonzales is the guy who got the Torture Is Okay Memo set up for the White House. I expect the FBI to use electric shock, duress positions, and testicle eating canines on Jeff's Friends and Family.

Thank you for invading Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11 and for not Capturing Osama Bin Laden and allowing the Taliban to regain strength in Afghanistan while our soldiers are tied down in Iraq.
Thank you for putting 40 Oil Executives in positions of Authority in the Government so we could enjoy $3.00 a Gallon Gasoline.
Thank you for outsourcing U.S. Port Security to Chinese Companies.
Thank you for borrowing $5 billion a Month from China.
Thank you for a record $9 trillion (and still growing) national debt.

Sadly, there is much truth to this statement...the Govt often attempts, with varying degrees of severity, to simply steamroll or intimidate you into settling, copping a plea or packing up. I have, and am, actually, experiencing this first hand with the IRS. The typical govt agency/bureacracy is FULL of a lot of the average and miserable people who could NOT make it in mainstream society or in the private sector. Add to it the ridiculous and FAKE ideological fervor that Bush and Albert seem to be bringing here, and this indeed will cost a lot of $$$$.
Several things:
1) Porn, if the industry had ANY virtue and good will just towards ITSELF, would have a legal defense fund to help any member in times like these. It also presents a united front, and does, even in a small way, further legitimize in everyone's eyes the whole concept of Porn as a business protected by the constitution...
2) Regarding the cops and how they do shit....In the Legend experience recounted above, 30 cops at Jeff's house sounds about right. You see, cops are bored much of the time, except the patrol guys. So, probably about 3 days before the Legend Raid, word went out around the division that "Hey we are going to raid a Porn Producer! Who wants to go? We might see some really FUCED up shit, maybe some hott skanks fucking right when we move in...." etc. You get the idea. 30!!!! WTF....
3) All first amendment debate aside, though, porn DOES need to stop and look at what it is doing. I am just sayin'....there's sexy, arousing....and then there is stuff that you are producing MERELY because you think you have the right to produce it and therefore should, or just to say "You did it, or did it first."
But I will get bombed/stoned in JM's honor today....

What I mean is that I don't think any interstate commerce charges have ever included the method of delivery reading like this -
The indictment charges that Five Star engaged in both physical and Web transportation of the video features Gag Factor 15 and 18 and American Bukkake 13, all of which were produced by JM, and Filthy Things 6, a Powersville Production distributed by JM.
Specifically, the indictment, which was handed down on May 23, charges that the Five Star Video defendants "knowingly used an interactive computer service and other facilities and means of interstate and foreign commerce to sell and distribute, to a location in Northern Virginia, obscene DVDs ... in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1465 ["Transportation of obscene matters for sale or distribution"] and (2)(a)," which allows the government to target the principals of a business. The transportation allegedly took place on Feb. 6 and 10 of this year.

Yeah, it seems like a draconian new angle... They're grasping at straws looking for any needle in a haystack of charges to stick to JM. It's amazing they actually comb through the material and devise ways to indict. They must have a war-room for this when they're supposed to be protecting us from terrorists. If I were the lawyers for JM I'd ask them if they got aroused looking at these dvds.

I thought something had to meet 3 criteria to be considered obscene - turn you on, gross you out, and have no artistic or literary value. Gag Factor turns me on, but it doesn't gross me out and it has definite artistic value. It doesn't proport to gross me out, and does claim artistic value, so, I think they can fight it without being hypocrites like the other side.
Hell, it's just a bunch of sloppy blow jobs. Jesus Horatio Christ.
Wouldn't the Ashley Blue Abu Gharib parody deserve the highest protection afforded under the First Amendment, as it is political speech?
First time I had looked at the holier-than-thou perverts on ADT! But I guess my shit house lawyer impressions of obscenity law don't mean anything, either. In fact, the law doesn't mean anything to the regime that did this.
I joined GagFactor.com and jerkoffzone today. It ain't much, but I'll do some more in November.

dont expect much of bush.
if nothing else, we can all thank him. hes fucked everything up so much, we wont see another republican until 2075. All the FBI guys will be free to relax, watch some internet porn and receive blowjobs again...and there will be much rejoicing....
in fact today i was reading cnn.com and i saw a reference to the USA's "european allies"... we still have allies?...
ive traveled abroad extensively during the Bush administration..everyone hates us, everyone.bar none. the ones that say they dont hate the usa....they hate us more than everyone else.
in fact if you voted for bush i will bet your entire life (which cant amount to more than 50k) that you havent traveled to another country besides mexico and canada in the last 6 years.....or your an idiot.

That sounds about right Phlogiston...No coincidence this is happening during an election year. The GOP is vulnerable right now, and trying to reach back out to old reliable to ensure they maintain power in the Congress. From a political standpoint, it's the smart move; the religious right has been the key to the GOP taking power from the Dems. It's bad for the country though.

So why didn't you name names at the time, Luke?
Here's some news for you...a celebrity is going to get into trouble with the law. Just remember where you heard it first when it's all over the TV and newspapers.
Also, one of my sources tells me that some porn chick is going to be getting the boot from LA Direct.
OK, let me pad this out a bit....um, Holly Randall stopped at some traffic lights last Friday, yeah! Some guy wrote something on some blog about the Mafia and stuff. Mary Carey farted and just called to tell me about it. Here's some of Da Burg's '10 Questions...'. Now to reinforce my psuedo-Jew self image my just dropping in a couple of Hebrew words...lemme see...meshuggah, yenta, kosher, shiksah, schlemiel.
Sorry, but I'm not impressed....

I noticed the same thing yesterday. I had went to that site to purchase a JM title, and all listings for JM products were gone. I then made an inquiry to someone who runs the site, and he said they pulled all JM products do the the idictment. What a fucking rip!!!
Yeah I am not happy about it. The video store here doesn't have JM video's so I have to buy them on-line as since I usally don't watch the same movie more then a couple of times, I usally turn around and try and sell it. Now I have five titles that I have no idea how I am going to unload them.

I think the point your missing is that none of these porn movies violate freedom of speech.
bush is raping you, and your worried about porno.
There are certain things that are not protected by freedom of speech, that is why kiddie porn is illegal. All I was saying is that the incest daddy's little girl stuff might be more questionable than the JM stuff in reguards to whether they are protected by free speech.

absolutely, that is something everyone can agree on, which is why no legitimate producer would ever make kiddie porn.
That's a crock of shit, you know as well as I that the only reason these porn producers don't shoot kiddy porn is simply because it's against the law, NOT because of any moral inhibitions.
If kiddie porn were legal, then ALL these producers would be shooting it.

absolutely, that is something everyone can agree on, which is why no legitimate producer would ever make kiddie porn. But nothing any legitmate producer makes is violating freedom of speech. Its all 100% legal and made using talent that is verefied to be of age.
you actually made a good point. the feds need to spend their time going after kiddie porn, not consenting adult porn.
Personally i think that watching cnn during the Iraq War and seeing live video feed of dead, bloodied bodies, and men trying to kill each other was highly obscene,offensive and morally repugnant. whoever started the war needs to be indicted with 300 counts of streaming live obscenity via mass media.
killing people = good
people having sex = bad
I agree that movies made between consenting adults should be legal and should be protected. Assumiong of course that all of the actors are consenting, the last thing I want to see protected under freedom of speech is snuff or rape films.

Technically, can't a snuff film be consentual on the part of the snufee and snuffer both? I guess "rape," by definition, can't be. But I can think of some sicko's that not only want to die, but want to die while it's being filmed for generations thereafter to enjoy. Doctor K-whatever did this a bunch, even filmed it.
It is Kervorkian...and you have to be one of the dumbest people around to suggest something like that.

Sucks about the indictment. I will buy a dvd at full retail, which I never do, to show my support. Doubt if Jeff goes to Jail, but it'll be a hassle for at least 18 months.

I did. Apparently, the ambiguity expressed by you and Zenman means I need to add more. Lots more.

Ken,Chris and myself are working very closely togehter on this case and I will be sure to let them know how Steph has basically said she hopes they go to jail. ANYONE in the adult industry that supports ADT in any form should sever all ties with them now that they have shown there true colors.
If you happen to live in the area, Five Star has an outlet store on Univserity and Priest in Tempe. Bonus: it's just down the street from Top's Liquor. You can get all your degenerate supplies in a single block!
Stephanie and Drew have been outed numerous times for their "It's your fault not mine" attitude. Every password gets stolen, fuck the ADT users, not our problem...it's cause the whores are stupid and forget their passwords. Five Star busted by the feds...Steph says, Screw 'em, not our fault.
And Kami is at it again. Even while Extreme Alex(allegedly) has shut up about this, Kami has seen fit to take up the banner and run with it. That's a metaphorical run, of course...Kami's weight control consists of and rather than diet and exercise: Quote:
cause i cant sell my ass to JM anymore? cause i cant get my porn anymore? you know what i would rather that than some girl dead [sic] cause she got punched in the head, well what if they come after the actors? if I did anything to cause some one to get the shit beat out of them or raped I'll take what I deserve.
Well, lessee...there are the two videos you made for them, one just last year. There are the several thousand posts to threw into this message board, which according to your porn "star" status generated traffic. Never mind you direct for a studio that put out "Mason's Dirty Trixx," about as extreme as you can get (remember the scene where Jay Ashley pinned that whore down with a barstool, pulled one of her nylons off and strangled her with it?)

Luke posts Ernest Greene's thoughts on the issue, fucking windbag. Quote:
JM Productions/Five Star Obscenity Bust
Ernest Greene aka Ira Levine posts June 2 on Nina.com:
I do not see anything narrowly political about the bust, as in somehow related to the Abu Ghraib thing, but it is clearly part of the larger DOJ strategy of calling out the harshest material first, hoping to secure a conviction for adult obscenity against someone somewhere that will actually hold up as far as SCOTUS.
Therefore, I'm hardly shocked that JM was next on the list after Rob Black. Like Black, Jeff Steward has a major attitude problem and that's exactly what gets you busted everytime. When I was a police beat reporter, I learned that the crime for which most people actually got dragged downtown was the general offense of "being an asshole," a description I heard used aloud more than once on that gig. Certainly and at every level Steward qualifies.
Full disclosure here. He said something truly vicious about Nina on his cheesy little forum a few months ago that led to some discussion of litigation, so if I'm not exactly grief-stricken over his troubles at a personal level, that should come as no surprise. Having some jerk post or allow to be posted on his bandwidth the suggestion that one's wife should be murdered along with other porn performers of her generation solely on grounds of said jerk's ideas about aging isn't likely to inspire sympathy.
And it doesn't help that I find many of his movies and his company's general posture repellant. Any producer with "Whores Degraded Daily" as a slogan clearly isn't too concerned about the disapproval of others, including those who can actually make something of it.
However, the fundamental things apply. The principle at stake here is still freedom of expression. Steward's company has, at times, been accused of physically and psychologically abusing performers. If any of that is true, the individuals involved should be arrested and tried for assault and battery. But that's not the charge that's been filed. The indictments concern the distribution of obscene content, and such indictments must always be opposed, however offensive the content in question. "The principle of free thought is not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate," says US Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes in United States v. Schwimmer (1929). That's what's at stake both in this instance and in the Rob Black case.
Should the feds succeed in establishing that some speech (as opposed to physical action) is so hateful as to merit criminal prosecution, any speech might be next, and don't think it won't be. If they get their convictions against Steward and Black, expect them to try and draw the noose tighter until it includes Vivid, Andrew Blake and us. That's why we have to fight on behalf of those we don't feel the least obligation to like. It's our own rights we're defending.
If any woman feels she was actually brutalized in a Donkey Punch video, let her come forward and see the brigands hauled off to the slammer amid cheers from many of us. Until then, this is still about sending somebody to jail over some pictures, and that kind of thing has no place in any society that calls itself free.
Nina Hartley writes: "Hate him as I do (or is it pity?), we must defend JM Productions against any content-based prohibition or it's our ass next. I would hope, though, that some woman would come forward to press assault charges against him for the Donkey Punch series. Reprehsible. Simply awful stuff."
I get a call from a source at JM Productions: "Donkey Punch is a Chatsworth Pictures [owned by Grip & Cram Johnson (Tony Malice)] movie, not a JM movie. Jeff Steward had nothing to do with it."
Tony Malice emails: "Luke, here is the post about Nina Hartley that Ernest Greene is referencing. It is not by Jeff Steward or JM Productions. People insist on making the false assumption that we are the only posters on XPT, that is FALSE. There are literally hundreds and thousands of posters."
June 9, Ira Levine writes:
Hi Luke,
It's been brought to my attention that an item you quoted from a recent thread on www.nina.com regarding the legal problems of JM productions and Jeff Steward gave Mr. Steward grave offense. Rereading what I said there, I can see why. As my original intention was to defend Mr. Steward's First Amendment rights and I could easily enough have done so without personalizing the whole matter, I feel I owe him an apology and offer it wholeheartedly and without qualification. I have removed the thread in question from our site and will have no further comment regarding Mr. Steward or his company there or elsewhere.
I oppose obscenity prosecutions in all instances and feel that it is in the best interest of the rest of the industry to do so as well. Enough said.
Nate Glass writes:
With all due respect to an icon like Nina Hartley… To say that everyone needs to defend Jeff is EXACTLY right. Now when it comes to beating up Jeff for Donkey Punch…ummm…I find it hard to read the text from 2 performers who have made a good number of hardcore BONDAGE titles, lecturing Jeff on the content of his product. Is Donkey Punch much different than having clothespins all over someone’s body while they wear a leather face mask?
And before someone tries to explain to me what Bondage is all about. I already know. But do you think these feds care about the difference? Weren’t all the girls in Donkey Punch consenting adults? Aren’t all the girls in Nina’s bondage movies consenting adults that enjoy the pleasures of pain? I have the highest respect for what Nina and Ernest have done and continue to do, they put out a great product that isn’t for EVERYONE and not EVERYONE can understand. There are a lot of people who don’t understand how anyone could be into Bondage, but there’s also a LOT of people who don’t “get†JM’s product either.
When I used to get obscenity charges from the city of Dallas ½ the time it was for Max Hardcore, the other ½ the time it was for bondage and foot fetish videos. Go figure. The feds are going after the shock value first, so that they can get some sort of precedent set using Jeff, Max, and Rob. Then it’s open season.
